the waterford sams all have a cable stop on the seat stays for the rear
brake, the maxway do not. if you have canti's that's ideal, otherwise i
don't think there's any reason good reason to value the waterfords over
maxway sams.

I'm 5'10" with one of the earlier hillbornes with a 58 effective tt, with
the bars level to the saddle i use a 100mm stem with compact bars.
anything longer would be too long. it's on the cusp. i'd get the 56. here's
it's current state.

i ripped the pockets off of my longflap camper and have been rolling it up
and placing it on the top of my rack, between two panniers full of camping
gear. when i get into town i unroll it, stuff it with food, ice and beer.
the bag is "waterproof", at least enough to act as a cooler for the rest
i have an early canti hillborne. i put 2.0 big apples on it and had room
for something bigger, i took them off pretty quick because the bike felt
really sluggish with them on.
with jack browns the bike always felt a little skiddish.
right now i am running 38 hypers, which are running as a true 3
i have a pair that i just listed on ebay with a low starting price,
200mm.
i think the longer ones are perfect. the reach at the end of the bar
is more like 7-8cms. the extra length at the front is really nice for
laying low and digging into a headwind.

I have a pair for Nitto prototype Bullmoose handlebars. These are from
Rivendell. I believe that they have the same reach/width as the
current model that Rivendell sells, only the rise is higher. You could

maybe more importantly than pbh and standover, i have 56 sam, one of

have a saddle height of 756mm and a reach of 53 cm and the fit on the
bike is perfect with noodles and a 9cm stem.

Simple green every few rides seems like overkill. A dry clean rag is
all you need for weekly maintenance. Just be sure to get the cogs and
chainrings well, the lube itself seems to do a good job of getting a
lot of the gunk out. If you're careful you can wrap the chainring with
a good toilet paper
Set is complete except for brake calipers. Wheelset is included. 105

$1000 asking price plus shipping. Toyo built. There are a few small
nicks in the paint. I would consider the paint a 9 out of 10 if not a
9.5. No dents or scratches. It has a fresh coat of framesaver applied.

main advantage is that there is a lot of room and the bag was

explain the difference in ride qualities in something like Big Apples
vs. a nice pair of 650b tires? Demi-balloon vs balloon? Would the 650b
tires feel a little quicker?
Thanks.

i have a hillborne that is my everyday bike. i have it pitlocked and
the vulnerable bolts are stuffed with foil to keep it from being
stripped. the paint chips pretty easily on this frame, i have a few

i love the way mine feels with a high light load. it has the feel of a
classic sport touring bike. i usually keep it around 10lbs or so and
easily make my way trough lanes of downtown chicago traffic. i have a
9cm stem and about a cm of drop.
here it is.

that frame is clean... on my taiwanese frame the ss cluster is
definitely sloppy in comparison to yours. the paints a little sloppy
too. i'm a little jealous, although that is a detail i doubt many
would notice. i'm sure structurally it they are both equally sound.

i live in chicago, and own a sam hill as well. i live in a flat part
of the country and am enjoying your reports on weight distribution and
am looking forward to you finding the perfect balance on this bike, as
i plan on taking it out of the city before too long.
only thing i can really add is that
tubus sells adapters that will allow you to mount to any fork with
fender eyelets. i think i have one laying around, but they are
available from wiggle as well.
one is essentially hose clamps with a tab for a screw, the other one
is clamps around the blade.
good for tara but not for duo.

Do tapered seat stays and hand carved lugs increase the riding
pleasure? Of course not. There is a significant difference in feel and
spirit in race or race-type riding bikes than those that are not, both
have their place. That's why most people who are invested in the whole
cycling lifestyle have
you could probably sell that rack on ebay and get a silver one shipped
from wiggle for what you sold it for.
i have the same thing going on, and prefer it. it will age well with
the bike.
